Awesome, huh?
If you were going to be a hero or villain, which would you choose? Villains have all the fun but heroes save the day. I'd go with villain, only because they do whatever they want without much worry. Kinda like a crazy Peter Gibbons from Office Space, more violent though. I don't mind the occasional violent fantasy either, but I've never been one to carry it out. I suppose that's a good thing since none of this would ever come close to happening.
Villains have all the fun. While the hero is out stopping muggings and office supply theft from your company the villain is out there blowing red lights, shooting guns, blowing things up, making fun of retards, killing Carlos Mencia and being smarter than you. Really, who hasn't had a ton of fun on the fourth of July with a case of beer and a ton of fireworks? If I was hired as a villain, I'd definitely make Carlos Mencia's life a living hell. Not that his comedy is too raunchy, it just consists of, "rednecks go to Wal-mart" (that's the joke, not funny). Villains are getting things done out there and enjoying themselves during the process.
Heroes on the other hand get all the great gadgets and toys: grappling hooks, awesome death ray guns, x-ray vision, web shooters, and cool hideouts, etc. That has some appeal but the whole saving people thing is very...eh...to me. I like people, not all of them because most are assholes. For instance people at work; I wouldn't think twice about them if some insane supervillain was threatening all of them. These people have no will to live because they push paper, file things, and love tax and pension documentation! It's sick! But, if I worked at a company where hot nude women walked around laughing at all my jokes and talking about nerd things all day, then I'd gladly be a hero for them.
Heroes are pretty screwed up in the head. Most of the time they're parents are dead, they've been in some horrible accident, or have some genetic mutation that has made them the fat kid of society. Heroes, except for Batman and Wolverine, are the emo kids of the hero-villain relationship. For example, Cyclops. He could have been really badass but instead he walks around complaining about Jean Grey's death, is a complete and total dick to every other X-Member and doesn't blast the shit out of everything and anything with his optic blasts. Cyclops sucks and is the reason guys like Wolverine hate him.
The villain-hero wire act is a difficult one to manage. I've tried to be a villain/asshole and I just can't do it. The closest I've come to being an asshole was the time I threw a frisbee at a fat girl's head for $10, and the other time I wrestled a girl. But really, that doesn't make me an asshole because I apologized to the fat girl, gladly took the $10 from my laughing friends, and the other girl wanted me to wrestle her. Plus she was attractive, which makes everything okay. Essentially, I'd be the worst villain ever but the laziest hero as well. No matter what, I'd be much happier being the worst hero or crappiest villain because it's better than sitting in a goddamn cube all day, pretending to do work. A bad hero or terrible villain is still better than henchman.
